Both were in civilian dress. But while the Emir had a top hat, the Egyptian Crown Prince wore the Mahomedan tarbush, or fez.

This came to Egypt from the country of its origin, Turkey. It was invented a century ago by a Sultan of Turkey with Western ideas, as a Mahomedah counter- part to the top hat.

The lez is now officially banned in Turkey. It has been replaced in Irak by à ceremonial head- covering resembling a British mili- tary forage cap.

There

abolish the fez in Egypt after the war, but it was frowned upon by King Fuad.

NAVAL TALK

Conference Agrees- Ou Basis

Londen, Jan. 30.

By HECTOR C. BYWATER

At yesterday's meeting of the Naval Conference the first serious attempt was made to find some" common ground for qualitative limitation of sea armaments

Viscount Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, as chairman of the Conference, recalled the original British proposals for reducing-the tonnage and armament of war- ships--which I detalled in "The Dally Telegraph" yesterday-and then announced the British Gov- ernment's willingness to consider afternative suggestions.

It was agreed that the Confer- ence should take as a starting pulnt:

A battleship type of 35,000 tons armed with 14in guns;

A maximum of 22,000 tons and 6.1in guns for aircraft carriers;

The discontinuance Di "A" eraft cruisers armed with 8ln gins;
